Crowns and Palms

Representative Text

1 What is waiting for us on that shore
Where the faithful dwell forever more?
What is waiting for the saved to wear?
What is waiting for their hands to bear?

Chorus:
Crowns and victor palms
Wait us when the storms of life are o’er;
Praise and victor songs,
We shall sing forevermore.

2 What belongs to them who vict’ry win,
Striving daily to be free from sin,
Who the straight and narrow way pursue
Till at last fair Canaan’s land they view? [Chorus]

3 What is waiting when life’s storms are o’er,
When we anchor on the heav’nly shore?
Crowns of glory and a mansion bright
We shall have in that fair land of light. [Chorus]
